Letters Patent No. 93,550, dated August 10, 1869.

IMPROVEMENT IN 'YCHURNS The` Schedule referred to in these' LettersPatent and making part of the same.

To -all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES L. NELSON, of Lewisburg, in the county ofGreenbrier, and State of West Virginia, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Ghurns; and I do hereby declare that the following is avfull, clear,and exact description thereof', reference being had to theaccompanying drawings and letters, that form a partY of thisspecification, and in which- Figure 1 represents a side elevation of myimproved churn-power, and

Figure 2, aplan view of the same.

Similar letters indicate like parts in both figures.

My invention relates to improvements in churnpowers; and to this end, Y

It consistsv in securing the balance-wheel on the opl '-posite side ofthe bench ii'om the lever, thereby lessening the friction.

It further consists in the employment of a vmovable crank .on theshaft-end, whereby any desired stroke may be obtained. Y

` f '.lo enable'others skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains, to make and use the same, I will now describe itsconstruction and operation.

In the accompanying drawing- A represents the bench.

a a., the legs ,of the same. b b represent boxes, secured on the upperside of the bench A. In these boxes works the shaft B, which isprovided, at one end, with the balance-wheel 0, said' wheel beingprovided with an arm, d, for operating the machine.

0n the other end of the shaft. B is lattached the crank D, provided withthree or more holes, e e, for

the pnrposeof regulating the stroke. The lower arm of this crank worksinto the slot-ted end of the lever` G,`whicl1 is pivoted at its rear endto the pin or projection g, formed on't-he vside of the bench.

7i, is aspring, one end of which is secured to' thelever YGr, and theother end bent, as seen in tig, 2, andv passed through a hole in thecentre of the lever. n is a metal band, into which the dasher is passed,

, and is retained in place by means of the spring hy passing through thedasher and the band.

Having thus described myinvention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-. v

f'lhe combination of the balance-wheel G, shaft B,

` adj ust-able crank D, slotted lever G, and spring h, with the bench A,all arranged to. operato substantially as herein shown and described. v

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I alix my Signat-ure,in presence of two witnesses.

JAMES L. NELSON.
